heatwave!
« on: July 14, 2012, 20:36:24 PM »
41 degrees in the shade today according to my thermometer! forecast says its going to get hotter and could be 48degrees next week, in the shade. that must be what, 60 in the sun?! its soooo hot its horrible. i dont have aircon and live in karagedik, have to walk 10-15mins to a shop/bus stop/anything lol, its not fun! good for the people on holiday though i guess  :) apart from my poor mum who's staying with me this week, we're both sleeping with wet towels over us to keep cool, and the fan on full blast but thats not even helping!

warnings to stay out of the sun between 10am-4pm, cant see that happening with tourists lol. i can see a lot of people ending up with sun stroke!

off to try and sleep now, wish me luck  ;)

missdanni 1992 - not good for people on holiday and if I had the misfortune to be there just now I can assure you that I would most certainly be heeding the warnings.   :)


Thankful it has only happened to us once and if I remember it was only for a day.

Certainly a good time for the all day sun cream! Factor 30,40 or 50 is a must surely?

And carry a bottle of cold water wıth you at all tımes. If I go out I wet a small towel and wrap ıt round a bottle of frozen water  place ıt ın a plastıc bag. Then every so often I put ıt round my neck for a whıle helps to cool down.

I remember years ago when we used to go to Turkey on holiday none of the hotels had airconditioning. Don't know how we survived! I well remember being unable to sleep at night becase of the heat

When we lived in Turkey and the days before aircon I used to get in the shower with my sheet and stand under the cold shower it was the only way to cool down and get to sleep!
